Yeah we should really get some nuclear powered batteries and throw away our chargers, leave data on 24/7, play asphalt 6 for 12 hrs straight and never have a need for spare batteries.  biggrin.gif

Case is about what, RM10? IEMs are RM400, smallest dual dynamic driver IEMs ever lol (also the most I've ever paid for headphones since my now sold TF10).

They're no match for the Radius DDM for pure SQ, but it's arguably a better package for mobile users (smaller, better isolation/comfort, slightly cheaper). And it's liquid as heck.

Plus they actually help the SGS2 sound bearable lol. Even sans impedence adaptor (which I used with my Eternas to, ehm, deepen the sound).

Now, for something iOS can do, and Android can do just as well:

Shadowgun works gloriously with CF3DPro and the SGS2.

We just need more publishers who care. The games will come.

But, there's still a shitload of stuff I couldn't do with the iP4 that the SGS2 makes short work of (deep system modding, file transfer/sharing, more wholesome browsing experience, blacks that are actually black).

Conversely, there ARE things that the iP4/4S does better (low light photography, music playback quality, that razor sharp - albeit tinny tiny - screen, easier GUI customizibility - really, because winterboard makes it so much easier)).

So rather then bash here and there, WHOEVER'S asking that magic "which one are" question should first ask themselves, what do THEY want from their phone?

Pure specs wise, the iP4 is nowhere near the SGS2 though. And the iP4S is barely there.

Do the Tegra games actually have better graphics than our general ones?

Most of them, very much yes. Like Galaxy On Fire 2 HD. The iPhone4 version/normal android version looks like it's a PS2 game while the Tegra one looks like a PS3 version.

oh yea babeh shadow gun! i was playing that also this afternoon, finished the first stage, AWESOME LIGHTING and graphics! definitely 573mb worth it! Also try Dungeon Hunter 2, another spectacular lighting effects rpg game! i play them at night and in the dark, the contrast+lighting effect is pure AWESEOME

btw: i dont think you need cf3dPRO cf3d should work as it only needs the nvidia plugin.

Dead Space - Instant AMOLED heart attack.

Oh, and I stand corrected on the CF3D thing, but I prefer to run the plugins per-app myself, which is only available in the Pro ver.

Get online from Momax (smart charger and u charger) or any decent Samsung mobile outlets (battery charger stand).

Exportprive also has the charger stands for cheap.

as of now, original stand charging dock for sgs2 is only for 1650mAH battery. don't charge your 2000mAH battery with it. it will not fit anyway.
*
ACTUALLY, it will fit and it charges fine. Just don't close the lid, leave it open. I've even used the stand with my Momax 2700mah batts/spider-foot "3500mah" (only god knows the real cap, now gone down to 2100mah already someone tested), had no problems.

On other news, primary testing of my new 2000mah batts are complete. Not bad for new, unconditioned batts really. For comparison, under similar average usage my Momax batts get around 11-12 hours.

yea because of meticulous reading i managed to successful root it in first try. so is flash custom roms, on my second now.

i see ur batt usage abit high on the AWAKE right. im thinking the optimum is AWAKE and SCREEN ON is same? meaning u hv some heavy backapps working ya.
PS/
now using touch X power rom , its good n the only major grip is that it is no map available. i cant find the original TW4 map in market too. anyone know how to 'revive' the map, i need it in my line of work.

It's awake a lot because I was using PowerAmp half the tine lol. No "proper" deep sleep while listening to music is definately a downer, but 10 hours is okaaay lah.

waa, i would love to know where you got your anime flacs any websites to recommend?  biggrin.gif

and ya i excitedly went and flash that ICS kernal, then greeted by italian custom style, reli wtf there. budden they have alot more freq states and like baronic said, the video in low light doesnt shutter, so i'm sticking with it fer now  biggrin.gif

More freq states is almost always bad. Really. I learned that back during my N900 days.

Hey, anybody interested in getting BSE (cheaper, better version of InvisibleShield) for our SGS2s? I'm gonna stock em soon.

iP4s suffering bad battery life: http://is.gd/fM6X8l

"It's a feature, not a flaw" TM. "Dual core that's why".

Woi, 10% drop IN standby PER HOUR is effin serious mang. I get 10% drop per 1/2 hour under HEAVY USE and even that's considered "unoptimised".

Maybe someone should look into underclocking the proc.

Oh wait, Apple already did that.

doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Maybe they all should flash Siyah lolx.

They should implement Deep Sleep and shutting down the cores when not in use... LOL

Maybe they should implement "true" multitasking too, considering with "cheap ass fake" multitasking they're not getting much battery saving anyway lol.

Oh, and siyah 2.1rc1 is now the first of the Siyah kernels to NOT randomly spazz out on me. Bravo gokhan.

@sevelfold: Try Sandisk, Kingston, Transcend and Lexar. They're all goodings. Get at least class 4 though.

Just spoiler it lol. Anyhow, I should try making my own ROM in the Kitchen and call it "Itik Comel Sungguh" (ICS) lol.

That said, I still WANT ICS ASAP, even if for just the USB Audio out bits (USB DAC/Amp yum), the GUI HW acceleration and the much improved multitasking.

The GalNex specs are not good enough to consider upgrading to though (it's more like a side-grade), so hopefully the Itu Canggih Sangat update comes quick2 to our SGS2, official or otherwise.

if you take the original sgs2 charger, and read, you will notice it's written 700ma which is exactly what i put for my charger current. others i din bother coz seldom use  biggrin.gif just put what you want it wont affect the phone coz its like a gate, even if you set 1000ma but the charger provide only 700 max, it will still be 700

That's why my chargers all l200mah Nokia AC10X ones lol.

After flashing siyah and setting charge current to 1000mah, for the first time ever, using the MHL while charging and steaming anime does NOT slowly drain my battery.

Sweet.

Should be at most similar in cap to the Original. Nothing more. Seriously people, the battery cannot really contain any thing more if it's not physically bigger. Plus cells might be of suspect quality and might not last as long.

It might be cheaper then Ori though.

But like I said, I have enough batteries to last me a week nowadays lol. Even thinking to get rid of at least 1 of the momax expowers.

Me coming from an iPhone background. Started off with the first model of iphone2g and eventually upgraded to the others. I got fade up with the restriction on iPhone and the jailbreaking process + frequent problems with the iOS.

Decided to go Android. Flexibility is given. Plenty of ROM & custom kernels to choose from.

I can access my SD card and phone memory when ever I want to. I can upgrade the SD card when ever I want to. I can replace my battery when its faulty, I can even carry a spare battery with me when travelling. No issues on coverage signal strength. No need to rely on iTunes.

End of the day its individual preference.

Very balanced way of looking at things. I agree wholeheartedly with this guy, being a prior iP4 modder myself.

iP4 = It just works, but consequently is more limited.
SGS2 = Needs more user interaction for INITIAL set up, but is consequently a whole lot more flexible.

I mean, battery wise I have the ori 1650mah batt, the Sammy 2000mah, Spiderfoot "2400mah", Momax 2700mah and I've tried the Sammy battery case, bought the DroidAx (for someone else) and am waiting for the PowerSkin. How's that for choice?

And than there's kernels, ROMs, Modems to choose from.

Plus the 4S is an effing battery drainer right now. 10% in standby is just sad.

@rattan: I have the MHL cable (ori) and am using it often now to output streaming Anime to my Samsung HD plasma. No issues what so ever except the inability to shut the SGS2 screen off and use the TV out exclusively. Also (prolly because the screen is on all the time), with every other kernel BESIDES Siyah + increased charging input hack, the battery WILL drain while MHL is in use.

@clIan: 4GB files are max, due to Fat32 limitation. Can be solved by using a kernel with FUSE NTFS modules (Siyah has them) and mounting the module with droidscript (allowing you to use NTFS formatted sd-cards, HDDs and pendrives), but I malas wanna try.

Also, 64GB SDXC cards can be used, with the above limitations kept in mind (we can't use exFat yet, only NTFS/Fat32).

And yes, the SGS2 plays a shitload of formats w/o conversion. I convert anyway because watching 720p anime on a handheld is like listening to uncompressed wav files from an iPod shuffle.

Honestly speaking, the ONLY real advantage of the 4S is the DAC (better music SQ, on a minuscule comparison level), and camera (the BSI sensor on the 4S IS better, don't kid yourself guys). As the SQ problem WILL be solved once we have ICS (which allows us to use USB DAC Amps), the camera is the only remaining plus point IMHO.
